Yoga Nidra is a sleep based, guided meditation. It is conscious sleep. All of the techniques used during a Yoga Nidra session are designed to guide an individual’s attention inward, creating a sense of wellbeing and ease.

Yoga Nidra resets, briefly at first, the mind and body. This reset allows them to function normally without the interference of the ego or unconscious mind. Recent research has shown that mindful relaxation techniques are associated with an increase in the size of the hippocampus in as little as eight weeks. Serotonin is released during Yoga Nidra.

Serotonin stimulates the growth of new neurons in the hippocampus, helping to restore mood and memory. Just 11 hours of learning a meditation technique (including Yoga Nidra) induces positive structural changes in brain connectivity by boosting efficiency in a part of the brain that helps a person regulate behavior in accordance with their goals.

Clients heal best in an environment where physical exercise and recreational therapy aspects are used.  A few of these activities include, paddle boarding, kayaking, workout facility, hiking, rock wall climbing, softball, swimming, ropes course, bowling, etc.

In Maple Mountain Recovery, clients participate in a Lakota style ceremony. The ceremony is intended to cleanse and purify the body, mind, spirit and soul. In a sweat lodge ceremony, clients confront their trauma and emotional, psychological and spiritual blockages in a safe way. Clients focus on their true needs and loving self and others in a healthy way. They find answers and healing within as they are shut off from the stresses and distractions of the outer world and as they are reoriented back to their authentic selves. Lakota style ceremony is universally spiritual and helpful and doesn’t require any specific cultural, spiritual or religious orientation.

Clients do group therapy where relationships are used as the starting plate for healing. While in treatment, clients have many corrective experiences which  help them to function better in the society. Group therapy is one of the most effective treatment to overcoming addiction and grief.

Clients are taught healthy living skills that will enable them to care for themselves and their loved ones.

Clients learn mindfulness that further helps the stressed-out brain to heal and learn different ways of healthy coping.  Programming at Maple Mountain Recovery offers many different ways to induce relaxation and the feelings of safety, as feeling relaxed and safe is the most important aspect in early brain recovery.

Resilience training helps you gain the ability to adapt well and recover quickly after stress, adversity, trauma or tragedy. Maple Mountain Recovery helps you become better at maintaining poise and a healthy level of physical and psychological wellness in the face of life’s challenges.
